Existing Climate Change Will Lead to Pronounced Shifts in the Diversity of Soil Prokaryotes

ABSTRACT Soil bacteria are key to ecosystem function and maintenance of soil fertility. Leveraging associations of current geographic distributions of bacteria with historic climate, we predict that soil bacterial diversity will increase across the majority (∼75%) of the Tibetan Plateau and northern...
